About the Item
Agricultural Print: Haycart in Rome, 1820s Hand-Colored Engraving
Description:
This charming hand-colored engraving, titled "Haycart – Rome," offers a picturesque glimpse into rural life in early 19th-century Italy. Published in the 1820s by Baldwin, Cradock & Joy, the piece is part of a series documenting regional occupations and landscapes across Italy. These prints combined artistic detail with ethnographic curiosity, captivating viewers with their romanticized yet authentic depictions of Italian culture.
The central focus is a haycart drawn by a pair of sturdy oxen, their yoke and harness carefully rendered to capture the simplicity and strength of these rural work animals. A driver, dressed in a vivid blue and red ensemble, guides the cart along a dusty path. The rustic wooden cart, with its carefully stacked hay and tall wheels, conveys the agricultural backbone of Roman life.
In the background, the engraving beautifully situates the scene within Rome itself. The Pyramid of Cestius stands as a striking reminder of the city’s ancient history, its angular form rising against the skyline. Nearby, the rounded walls of a medieval fortification or watchtower reinforce the sense of a landscape steeped in layers of time and culture.
Adding warmth and daily life to the scene, a woman sits on the grass beside the path, her spindle in hand, while a child nearby watches with curiosity. Their relaxed presence contrasts with the hard work of the oxen and driver, evoking a timeless rhythm of labor and leisure in the Italian countryside.
The fine lines of the engraving and the careful hand coloring bring out the rich textures of the haycart, the animals, and the warm Roman earth. This print would have delighted travelers and collectors alike, offering a vivid and romantic window into rural life in the shadow of Rome’s monuments.
Condition:
This antique print is in very good condition, with some minor foxing and age-related toning that enhance its historical character. The colors remain bright and true, adding to the scene’s warmth and charm.
Framing tips:
For a classic and inviting display, pair this print with a soft cream or warm beige mat and a natural wood or antique gold frame. This will complement the earthy, pastoral palette and highlight the gentle beauty of this idyllic rural scene.
